A farmaceutical salesman is involved in the spiral of corruption in the medical assistance of the welfare state system.

A college student studying for an upcoming test attempts to calm his frazzled nerves by taking drugs, and experiences a series of vivid, erotic hallucinations. When a beautiful woman appears to teach him the secrets of sexual ecstasy, he begins to fear that he will lose her forever once the effects of the drug wear off.

A deep dive into Glauber Rocha's years exiled in Italy in the 70s. Through a collection of interviews and archives, the movie shows the making of his film Claro (1975) and his relation with European auteurs in their filmic and political views.

We started to make an extra to be included in our first DVD "Democratic Optimism", a collection of short films in black and white we shot between 1990 and 1999.

From Paolo Brunatto's series "Scheggie Di Utopia".
